#33: Compassion Fatigue - When Caring Becomes Exhausting
Nov 17, 2021 Season 2 Episode 33
Becky Corbett

Hello and welcome back for another solo episode! We're almost in summer here in Australia and about halfway through this episode the cicadas in my garden (who are most active in the hot summer months) decided to chime in, so I hope you'll enjoy their ambience!

In this episode, I speak about the concept of compassion fatigue (what happens when caring becomes exhausting). This is an especially important topic for the highly sensitive person (HSP), because as an HSP you have the gift of deep empathy. Yet, at some point it is likely that this has been taken advantage of by others and over time, becomes energetically depleting. 

Find out about the signs of compassion fatigue in yourself so that you can aim to prevent and/or manage it whilst also taking care of yourself!
